Choosing the right orthodontist for you and your family will have lasting impact upon you and your family.
Dr Righellis’s unique approach to orthodontic care revolves around what we can term the 4 C’s. Think of the letter ‘C’ as in the word Choosing the right orthodontic approach.
An important part of care is how you feel that you are treated as an individual. Yes, our web site will give you a glimpse of who we are and our approach to orthodontics, however the best way is to visit us.
Another important part of care is the experience of the orthodontist. Not only is Dr Righellis, Board certified by the American Board of Orthodontist, he teaches other dentists nationally and internationally about his approach to orthodontics. He is an associate clinical professor at both orthodontic programs in the San Francisco, UCSF and University of the Pacific.
Look around the office and you will see messages of quality. Dr Righellis uses the latest in imaging technology to help explain your orthodontic options. Digital imaging of your face, jaws and teeth makes it easier for you to understand the orthodontic concerns so you can make an informed decision about the long term health of your mouth.
You should never feel like a number being pushed through the system. You should feel like your orthodontist and staff care about you, your comfort, and your health. You want to be informed of both your treatment and your progress.
Our team begins building a personal connection with you from the first contact, and keeps current on your progress. The whole team is truly invested in each patient and their success. Our team is very good about explaining each step before it happens, and is trained to provide treatment progress reports as a standard part of each appointment.
Your comfort should be one of the primary concerns of your orthodontist. Stories of painful procedures and torturous treatments abound in offices and schoolyards. However, we use the latest in bracket and soft wire technology to provide great outcomes with minimal discomfort. We will do everything possible to minimize discomfort.
Your time is important! As we use the most high tech appliances, your visits are often 5 to 7 weeks apart during the treatment. We have hand crafted an appointment schedule to minimize your time away from school or work or both!
